Regardless of those everything works in the final build.

we all build the source, we all see the warnings. there is nothing to gain (which is worth gaining) by reporting it here.

> we all see the warnings

I cannot possibly see what you see and vice versa. But I have seen programs which build without warning on one system and with warnings on another (depending on software versions, options etc).

The reason for reporting it as a bug is not an attempt to "gain" something. A warning is an indication that something is not right and that's the reason for sharing it - in case someone may want to have a closer look before it leads to more serious issues.

Actually, the contrary is true.
